When asked why he gave the bird shoes Maloy responded, "Why? For kicking opponents, of course."[3] C Jay was reintroduced as a full-sized mascot on February 25, 2012 in the final Border War against Missouri to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Jayhawk.[4] C Jay was retired early in 2013 and is displayed at the Kansas Memorial Student Union.
